With the price of professional sports stadiums in a seemingly endless climb to the top, one TikTok user let the power of AI show how much further that envelope could be pushed.
User @trendlensvault plugged in all 32 NFL teams to see how ludicrous their stadiums could look.
Each design took heavy influence from the names of each team first and foremost, with some relation to the area they’re in also considered.
While some designs led to some awkward interpretations and clashes, others were knocked right out of the park.
Other designs, while opulent in appearance, might not be the most realistic options.
Among the best designs included the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium – featuring a giant cardinal and red sandstone rock formations inspired by Monument Valley.

Some are opulent, some are impractical, and some would cost so much money. But all are cool.
Other notable stadiums included the New York Giants (with three giants holding the roof up with the NYC skyline behind them), the Cincinnati Bengals (with three giant tigers, jungle trees, and vines hanging down), and the Baltimore Ravens (which leaned into a gothic theme with black wrought-iron gates and cathedral-esque stained-glass windows).
But some seemed to either miss the mark, blend elements which would be impractical, or whiff on the theming.
For example, the stadium for the Washington Commanders had no maroon or gold and instead displayed maps and data akin to a military headquarters.
Additionally, the Buffalo Bills’ stadium did have a giant waterfall – referencing Niagara Falls – they also had a Wild-West-style wooden fort which doesn’t fit with the region.
Finally, the 49ers stadium was ringed by a giant mine cart track – putting fans at a considerable distance from the field.
Regardless, football fans loved the designs as a whole and many wondered how realistic they could be.
‘Why don’t stadiums look this way???? make it happen,’ wrote one commenter on Tik Tok.
Another said, ‘If the stadium were like this I could justify the amount of money spent to go to a game.’
‘I’m disappointed this isn’t what stadiums look like now,’ another TikToker wrote.
One commenter on X said, ‘This would actually be insane.’
